Joey and other news

Joey weighed 2.9 kilos when he was dumped at our gate. Look at him now just five weeks later.


Mom thinks he is going to be a big dog because he is growing so fast. We are real good pals now and play all the time. Here we are on the sofa. We have rearranged the sofa cover for mom. It's now in an artistic draped manner, which is very chic in the canine world.

 

Remember poor Tupa with the bad ear. Mom had to take him back to the vets the day before they moved because he had a problem. He has an anal tumor. The vet did a biopsy and yesterday the results came back. It looks bad for him. It is cancer and he has other tumors as well. His throat isn't getting any better either. The vet is going to try and save him, so he is staying there for now. We are all praying he gets better.



Poor Tupa



This is the steep drop down to the river that mom is so afraid one of us will fall down. It's a long way down. Today dad started building a play area but they need more fence wire and posts and other stuff to make us as comfortable as we were at the old place. Some of the kennel dogs are sleeping in cardboard boxes.


We can't run free until mom and dad can block off the fall to the river and to the road. They are asking for help to build a nw infra structure here to contain us.

I'm sorry to hear about Tupa's diagnosis. I'll think very good thoughts for him.

Your new property is beautiful but I'd be nervous about that slope as well! I can't believe how Joey is growing and as always, I love love love seeing pics of Guga, my nephew is so handsome!
